I can't remember why I started making these miniature sculptures last week - can't recall my train of thought, but it's immediately become an addiction . Using glue, embroidery scissors and old copies of World of Interiors, it's possible to explore form, colour, space and composition very quickly, running through countless options until something feels right.
Although in the flesh there's plenty of light and shade and volume to the assemblages, they don't look so real in the photos. I enjoy their ephemeral character and might try rendering them in oil on a small scale, which would also help with working out composition and palette, two things I struggle with.
The possibilities of this form seems endless! I used large-scale digital prints in IndoAnglian Conversations to make 3D paper sculpture, but the expense was prohibitive. This throw-away method appeals to me because it;'s so Blue Peter, childlike. Pencil, paper, clay, scissors, pencil, rubber, glue - with these basic tools, what more do you need?
